a russian courtroom those details coming up right next. to european satellite provider takes a rainy and stations off the air as a result of the latest sanctions on iran exposing pocker see that you use stance on free speech. is one pm in the russian capital you're watching r t with me where you know josh pulling the u.s. economy back from the brink and retaliating for the killing of american diplomats took center stage during the second presidential debate between mitt romney and barack obama they faced off to trade fresh blows with a less than a month left before the crucial vote for white house dominance artie's ganesh account has the latest from washington. by all accounts this debate was thought to be crucial for the president and and his chances of getting reelected especially

after the first debate two weeks ago when the president looked less and less competitive then governor romney this time around he was on the offensive which got the media and his supporters very excited according to television audience polls the president came out as the winner in this debate they kept arguing the tax plan is going to add more to the country's gigantic dad true will be better at competing with china and the rest of the world in terms of economic growth and it was very it was very little on foreign policy there was one more debate coming out before the election that one specifically on foreign policy where there was one question about levy and the murder of the american ambassador there and the president did come up with. punchline to that he said this we were going to find out who did this and we're going to hunt them down because one of the things that i've said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with americans we go after them well as far as leave you know the administration would want to present the mission of toppling qaddafi as a huge success as they had before at that tragic attack this september in benghazi

but now it's hard to cover up the fact that libya is very far from that success story that it's a mess with radical forces on the rise but again these debates are not about in-depth discussions they're more about who's going to deliver a better punchline who will provide for a better show essentially and it says the news cycle here. is entirely around the debates has been like one big reality t.v. show with all these never ending discussions on the body language of the candidates all the channels do that they invite experts to analyze the candidate smile body potion as they stand where they sit down during the debate they are of course have this cardio ground with the viewers reaction to what they are saying so there is a very skilled pool of build up of excitement here which makes great reality t.v. but it's a big question whether americans really have a choice something that has gotten cool. please unnoticed uncovered by the mainstream media here by this nonstop reality t.v.

was the arrest the arrest of a presidential candidate in this election jule styne nominee from the green party she was arrested shortly before the debate right outside the town hall where this debate was being held she and her running mate were protesting their exclusion from these presidential debates they were asked to leave they refused to do so and they were arrested for blocking the traffic the fact that there are other candidates in this presidential election outside these two parties very few americans know anything about that is because as jule styne told me when we sat down for an interview a few months ago they're being pushed out of the debates by those who are interested in keeping a two horse race she was referring to special interests take a listen but what they really have is the support of the one percent and then they have a propaganda campaign going on an intensive public relations and psychological warfare that's intended to convince people that they don't have any options the american system is designed to eliminate political opposition like some of the

you know dictatorships that we criticize that have rigged political systems in many ways the american system is also rigged but in ways that are not as straightforward jill stein will be on ballots although not in all states she was also telling me how hard it is for an independent candidate to get on those ballots in the u.s. that every state has its own intricate rules centrally designed to keep it a two party race as far as these big televised presidential debates there are organized by the democratic and republican parties through the commission on presidential debates so there's not much enthusiasm on part of that commission to have a third party in but you would think the media that's somewhere between discussing the body language of the candidates the chemistry on stage the dresses of the wives that somewhere between all those things they would mention the arrest of a presidential candidate but no it's being completely ignored. and

a shout of warning there and me and watch her full interview with the green party's presidential candidate jill stein next hour here on r.t. . u.s. professor stephen zunes has the big business depend on bipartisan system offers no real choice for americans. we don't have a portion representation we have so it's a winner take all system by state through the electoral college many people might be inclined to for example you know go floor a left wing party or the green party similarly some conservatives are more libertarian bent might want to vote for the look you're in party the center of the you pretty and pretty much realistically anyway if the only choices are these two main parties and are the folks that had more to get elected especially the president you know you need to raise millions and millions of dollars and you have to of course go to people who have that kind of money you certainly have their own

agenda and want to impact the outcome in ways that will benefit themselves but we seem to be culturally stuck in this cycle every four years of voting for the lesser evil what will change when america picks this president amid muslim rage working the iran ties rope pushing china and russia as occupy anger spreads the two parties still dictate will their. u.s. election close if they are to getting up to twenty second now take a look at some of the stories from around the world a suicide bomb attack by the taliban in u.s. afghan military camp has left at least ten afghan soldiers injured in the country's east blast followed by indirect fire went off before the bomber reached the actual military facility nato officials have confirmed there were no casualties among international troops it's the latest in a series of intensified attacks on nato and afghan security forces by the taliban.

saying it could take legal action against leading european satellite provider for cutting off its programs and this comes after nineteen iranian television and radio stations including the largest english speaking channel press t.v. have been taken off the air in europe and that's the result of new e.u. sanctions on tehran while the latest measures are aimed at pressuring iran government to be a proud about its nuclear program the restrictions are targeting iran's banking sector gas exports and oil shipments that iran says of regulations won't affect the country's economy in the long run but will hurt ordinary people while we can now get more on this political analyst. thank you very much mr talia for joining us from india here in r.t.d. now why was the media targeted by the e.u. why the new sanctions are all about trade. well this is peril for a war that's going on i mean from bishan war that the human side of your himself

not just the general government has said that the sanctions are hurting civilians and everyday people in iran and i think this message. cared if it goes out to the west and not publics and there's an attempt to cover it up or to keep it consistent propaganda that. this regime is people wanted to and that you know they're under pressure from ball to be sent into the working and. then having to graham that must be dismantled and all of this is untrue and so this is the real crux of the matter are getting communications satellite information is not very much it's really into the mix of these. it means a lot of that's going on not between the west and iran well it's interesting what the real motives of the europeans are here i mean the question is are they really interested in negotiations with iran because as we know right before the sanctions on iran said it was ready to limits higher grade uranium enrichment what what what

are your thoughts on this. i think the the west unfortunately is not interested in a solution they want to keep this part warming short of war or or if they're wrong with romney campaign would have it even war so i think there'd be some dissidents illusions i mean the real solution is no sanctions no war we want better knock your media most of us feel the same and i mean this is totally unreasonable the kind of pressure that's being exerted on a country then it's the allegation that it's developing nuclear weapons is not even brewing our own people still being very slight so i think this is. you know i have to be reviewed the public of the same solutions are our sanctions are not leading to the solution this impasse has been going on for years not and we would like to see how we could move away from the threat. one hundred you can change and this

kind of warfare for solutions all right let's let's talk about the effects of sanctions the possible effects of sanctions on iran how big an effect do you think it will have on iran economically. well you know the currency has been going through wraps up for pupils and the prices have also been considerably fi. these sanctions probably have definitely played a role in these outcomes but i think i was recently on my sort of that they have the capacity to resist and we've started this pressure for a considerable time and i don't see them getting on formally in front of the media continuously more and from then on the instance they can reduce so no other nation customers and i don't see why everybody few off all the light of the west and he won't see it simply want to fight. and they're really really sick.
